Monopoly is getting a makeover, and in the new game, Hasbro is putting women first.

Ms. Monopoly will feature its namesake character, a woman investing in female entrepreneurs, on the cover — and the game itself will feature inventions and innovations created by women throughout history instead of the typical real estate investments found in the original version of the game. Women also make more than men in Ms. Monopoly, thanks to some clever tweaks to the game play — though, Hasbro points out, men can make more money, too, if they play their cards right.

Hasbro is also giving money to young female entrepreneurs — real money, not Ms. Monopoly money — in celebration of the game's release. The game company gave more than $20,000 to young women working on innovative projects.

The new game debuts this month. It's available for preorder at Walmart for $19.99.
